More Than Enough News You Can Use

Well I Guess That's Progress

The Carousel is moving forward once again... but should it? 👀 This week on Pod999, Dave Adams and Dave Maddron tackle one of the hottest topics in the Disney Parks community: the announced updates to Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. Are we excited about the changes? Do we think Disney should leave this classic attraction alone? Or is it finally time for the future to catch up with the future that never was? We break down our thoughts, share our concerns, and try to answer the question every Disney fan seems to be asking right now. Of course, Michaela Madison is back with another Mickey Minute, and let's just say she has a few opinions of her own about what's happening around the Disney Parks. Whether you're Team "Update It" or Team "Don't Touch It," this episode is packed with Disney news, nostalgia, hot takes, and plenty of laughs along the way. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow... but what should it look like? Tune in and find out! 🎙️✨

BONUS EPISODE: Hot Take

Emergency bonus episode alert. 🚨🇺🇸🦅 Dave Maddron had something to say… and honestly, we just handed him the microphone and let him GO. This special Pod999 bonus episode is centered around one very important question: WHY does Disneyland get the Sam Eagle popcorn bucket before EPCOT?! Of all places?! Disney… WHAT ARE WE DOING?! What starts as a popcorn bucket discussion quickly turns into a passionate, hilarious, slightly unhinged rant about park identity, American Adventure representation, Disney decision making, and why Sam Eagle absolutely belongs at EPCOT first. If you’ve ever yelled at a Disney announcement from your phone screen, this episode is for you. 😂
